There are three, but since Christianity is allegedly monotheistic, its practitioners will insist that there is only one god. When it comes to clarity, Christianity out-confuses Judaism and Islam.
"So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that ?An idol is nothing at all in the world? and that ?There is no God but one.? For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many ?gods? and many ?lords?), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
But not everyone possesses this knowledge. "
The 'trinity' is pagan, but don't bother telling modern Christians this over and over; they just yell louder all the while ignoring chapters like chapter 9 in the book of Isaiah 9 or where Jesus said "My Father and I are One".
Same old story, same old song and dance, my friend.
Just One!
Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one."
Matthew 28:29 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..." That name is JESUS!
John 1:1,14 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth."
John 14:8-9 "Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us." Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?"
There is only one true God. All other gods are false gods. That's what the Hebrew scriptures say, that what the Christian Greek scriptures say.
That is why Jesus must be the same, one, true God of the Bible, because if He is a lesser god, or a created god, that will make Him a false god. Ditto for the Holy Spirit.
The one Being of God subsists in the three co-eternal, co-equal persons of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One God. That is why Christians are baptized in the name (singular) of Father, Son and Holy Spirit - the one name covers all three persons in the Godhead.
There is One God. The Creator and ruler of the universe (Isa.40:28-31); the first person of the tribune Godhead: God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit (Matt.28:19; 2 Cor.13:14) who reveals Himself through the natural world, the Bible, and His Son Jesus Christ (Col.1:19).
Only One God - 1 Timothy 2:5, Deuteronomy 6:4, Psalm 86:10, 1 Corinthians 8:4&6, Malachi 2:10, Ephesians 4:6, Romans 3:30, Mark 12:29, James 2:19, Ephesians 4:5-6 (not enough to believe in one God, you have to believe in the one TRUE God), Mark 12:32 (Jesus is even says there is one God). Deuteronomy 32:39, Isaiah 43:10-11, Deuteronomy 4:35&39, Luke 18:19, Mark 10:18, 1 Kings 8:60, Psalms 86:10, Isaiah 44:6&8. Isaiah 45:5-6, Isaiah 46:9, Isaiah 47:10, Isaiah 45:14,18,21,22.
KEY WORDS HERE: GOD IS OMNIPRESENT.
The Trinity is Tertullian's diagram to help better explain God. I think it falls short. God is always called the Father, so I don't see why God, and the Father, are separated in Tertullian?s diagram. It's not that difficult. God (the Father) is revealed through the Son. Jesus is fully God and fully man - able to be the perfect mediator to bridge mankind to God. This was a legitimate human birth from God's own Spirit. Jesus had the nature of man and the nature of God. He placed his human nature in submission to the nature of God. Although He was God - He was also human. He was tired and He even cried. God didn't take any shortcuts, even when the devil tried to tempt Him in the wilderness. Jesus doesn't ask us to do anything He wasn't willing to do Himself. He is the High Priest who is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, for He experienced them. Hebrews 4:15. Jesus showed us how we should treat others, how we are to communicate with God, and what we should truly value. God humbled Himself greatly for our sakes. We have to remember that although God was present in the flesh of man, He is still omnipresent.
God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
From this verse, we can see why the TRINITY attempts to explain:
1 John 5:6-8 - This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is Truth. 7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are One. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one.
Ephesians 4:5-6: One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Isaiah 9:6 - For to us a child is born, to us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
